What is the Bay Circuit Trail & Greenway?
The BCT is a 230+ mile multi-use trail outside of Boston where you can walk, hike, ride, ski, and get some fresh air. The trail corridor is T-accessible and traverses Eastern Massachusetts’s beautiful natural landscapes, passing through 38 towns, with trail connections to many more.

Spring 2026; Hike For a Change
“Come along as Josh Moughan of The Dirty Hands Project hikes more than 200 miles on the Bay Circuit Trail in Massachusetts to raise awareness about mental health and show why nature is a remedy for depression and anxiety.”
For more information about Hike For a Change and The Dirty Hands Project, check out their website HERE.
“Hike For A Change is back for its third year. From Saturday, April 25, to Saturday, May 30, we will once again hike the 230 mile Bay Circuit Trail, from Duxbury to Plum Island, Massachusetts. We will also be adding new hikes in Denver, CO, Charleston, SC, Peabody, MA; and an unforgettable final hike in Danvers, Massachusetts.
Mental health touches all of our lives, and Hike For A Change creates space for meaningful conversations, community, and connection. We encourage you to join us and take time to unplug, step into nature, and take time to reset your mental health. Hike For A Change is more than a hike; it’s a movement.”
